Aunt Bobbi died at the University of California Medical Center. She had fought, and survived cancer for 20 years. She had maintained such a positive attitude throughout the years while battling this disease, that the university made her the subject of a documentary which they shared with other cancer patients, to encourage them to remain optimistic and upbeat while undergoing treatments (on the theory that attitude was half the battle). She later offered herself to an experimental cancer treatment program in the hopes that advances in treatment would save other’s lives. She died, quite literally having sacrificed her life so that others could live.

Bobbi married on 15 Nov 1948 in Vancouver, Clark co, Washington to Henry Melvin Stringfield, the son of Melvin Stringfield and Orilla Samuels. Henry and Bobbi divorced in 1960; however, neither remarried. They did not have any children. Henry died on 15 October 1966 in Mendocino co, California; he was cremated and his ashes were buried in Eureka, Humboldt co, California, and probably in the grave of his father (#120803275).

After their divorce Bobbi lived in Las Vegas, Nevada, a location she chose because she was a night-owl and could find work on graveyard shifts. She later moved to Union City where she shared a home with her parents, and continued on with her mother after her father died in 1973. She moved to Hayward, California around 1980, sharing a home with her sister Bertice.

She was a Bookkeeper by profession, enjoyed bicycling, bowling (winning team trophies), sightseeing and traveling, doing jigsaw puzzles, and reading.

Upon her death, she was cremated; her urn and ashes were interred in her mother’s coffin when Stella Judd was buried in July 1987.
